Top Three Thursdays

I’m hoping at least a couple of you need a respite from turkey and the trimmings and are looking to escape the football on TV because I’ve got some great finds for this week’s Top Three Thursdays from Etsy. The first thing to catch my eye was this unbelievably beautiful turned bowl in Via Nativa‘s shop. Via Nativa is an artistic team that works on location with craftsmen and women in regions of Latin America that are underrepresented in regional and international markets. This particular bowl is made from cobolo wood and can be washed with soap and water. I can picture it filled with some bright oranges or maybe some dried flowers for a centerpiece. Approximate size is 3″ (7.62 cm) Height x 8″ (20.32 cm) Diameter. Cost is $65.

Number two spot goes to this handsome brushed leaf wreath in Dancing Circle‘s shop, based in Portland, Oregon. The creator makes all her wreaths from organic plants native to the American Northwest, dying them to create really unusual colors and themes. I just love the autumnal feel of this particular wreath. For indoor use only. About 17″ in diameter. Cost is $30.

Finally these chic wooden candleholders from JeanPelle‘s shop. Based in Brooklyn, Jean Pelle is a former architect designer, who left her job to make what she wanted. These candleholders are handturned douglas fir with 24K 100% pure gold leaf applied decoration. 11.5” length x 3” diameter. Price is $115 for one….which of course would not be enough as this lovely display shows.
